A 56-year-old man named So Si-kit has been sentenced to four weeks in jail for injuring Mak Ka-wai, a video journalist for RTHK.
So pleaded guilty earlier this month, reports RTHK.
The attack occurred during last year’s pro-democracy protests in Mong Kok.
Mak sustained injuries to his face in the incident.
Last year, Coconuts Multimedia Director Alexander Hotz was punched while filming in Mong Kok.
